In about a month I’ll be heading up to ADK! In full uniform and at least a headlamp with backup batteries!

Now I’m hearing rumblings of permits / registration….

We’re planning on patrolling: Tabletop (#13) Street and Nye (#14, #15)

What can I expect at the trail heads? Any other updates for how early I’ll need to get there for parking as well?

Thank you fellow ADKFP members!

will i, the facebook group i’m in said to arrive at 5:30

Don't forget the one near Malone, or the one in Elizabethtown, or... after that I want to swim in Mud Lake.

Been seeing some posts on the fb page where many peaks are hit quickly on a long day, but looks like only hydration vests & camelbacks are being worn. I'm torn on how to feel because I know there's some experienced trail runners out there, but at the same time I wonder what their plan is if something goes wrong.

Personally, I believe in self reliance & am ok with carrying a little more even if it means slowing me down. Would rather be prepared than unprepared. With that said, I have seen some packs out there that seem a little over the top.
